Dear Supporter,

In addition to the nature walk on Sunday 19th (see http://www.saveswallowswood.org.uk/events/070819_walk.htm) we've a meeting coming up that you might be interested in. We've asked several people who regularly attended the first weeks of the Public Inquiry to come and tell us about their experience so far and share information with others in the group. With so many things going on (as usual) the organisation for this is a bit last minute, but please come along if you can. Details below along with information about the first ever Critical Mass Glossop planned for September!
